Matthew 26
1 When Yeshua [Salvation] had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
yīśuretān prastāvān samāpya śiṣyānūce,
2 “You know that the Pesac ·Passover· is two days away (Nissan 12), and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be nailed to the execution-stake.”
yuṣmābhi rjñātaṁ dinadvayāt paraṁ nistāramaha upasthāsyati, tatra manujasutaḥ kruśena hantuṁ parakareṣu samarpiṣyate|
3 Then the chief priests, the Torah-Teachers, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out].
tataḥ paraṁ pradhānayājakādhyāpakaprāñcaḥ kiyaphānāmno mahāyājakasyāṭṭālikāyāṁ militvā
4 They took counsel together that they might take Yeshua [Salvation] by deceit, and kill him.
kenopāyena yīśuṁ dhṛtvā hantuṁ śaknuyuriti mantrayāñcakruḥ|
5 But they said, “Not during the festival of Passover, lest a riot occur among the people.”
kintu tairuktaṁ mahakāle na dharttavyaḥ, dhṛte prajānāṁ kalahena bhavituṁ śakyate|
6 Now when Yeshua [Salvation] was in Bethany [House of affliction], in the house of Simeon [Hearing] the leper,
tato baithaniyāpure śimonākhyasya kuṣṭhino veśmani yīśau tiṣṭhati
7 a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
kācana yoṣā śvetopalabhājanena mahārghyaṁ sugandhi tailamānīya bhojanāyopaviśatastasya śirobhyaṣecat|
8 But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
kintu tadālokya tacchiṣyaiḥ kupitairuktaṁ, kuta itthamapavyayate?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”
cedidaṁ vyakreṣyata, tarhi bhūrimūlyaṁ prāpya daridrebhyo vyatāriṣyata|
10 However, knowing this, Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
yīśunā tadavagatya te samuditāḥ, yoṣāmenāṁ kuto duḥkhinīṁ kurutha, sā māṁ prati sādhu karmmākārṣīt|
11 For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.
yuṣmākamaṁ samīpe daridrāḥ satatamevāsate, kintu yuṣmākamantikehaṁ nāse satataṁ|
12 For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
sā mama kāyopari sugandhitailaṁ siktvā mama śmaśānadānakarmmākārṣīt|
13 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
atohaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi sarvvasmin jagati yatra yatraiṣa susamācāraḥ pracāriṣyate, tatra tatraitasyā nāryyāḥ smaraṇārtham karmmedaṁ pracāriṣyate|
14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot [Praised Dagger-man], went to the chief priests,
tato dvādaśaśiṣyāṇām īṣkariyotīyayihūdānāmaka ekaḥ śiṣyaḥ pradhānayājakānāmantikaṁ gatvā kathitavān,
15 and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
yadi yuṣmākaṁ kareṣu yīśuṁ samarpayāmi, tarhi kiṁ dāsyatha? tadānīṁ te tasmai triṁśanmudrā dātuṁ sthirīkṛtavantaḥ|
16 From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
sa tadārabhya taṁ parakareṣu samarpayituṁ suyogaṁ ceṣṭitavān|
17 Now on the first of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· (Nissan 14), the disciples came to Yeshua [Salvation], saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare your Seder ·Order / Passover meal·?”
anantaraṁ kiṇvaśūnyapūpaparvvaṇaḥ prathamehni śiṣyā yīśum upagatya papracchuḥ bhavatkṛte kutra vayaṁ nistāramahabhojyam āyojayiṣyāmaḥ? bhavataḥ kecchā?
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Pesac ·Passover· at your house with my disciples.”’”
tadā sa gaditavān, madhyenagaramamukapuṁsaḥ samīpaṁ vrajitvā vadata, guru rgaditavān, matkālaḥ savidhaḥ, saha śiṣyaistvadālaye nistāramahabhojyaṁ bhokṣye|
19 The disciples did as Yeshua [Salvation] commanded them, and they prepared the Seder ·Order / Passover meal·.
tadā śiṣyā yīśostādṛśanideśānurūpakarmma vidhāya tatra nistāramahabhojyamāsādayāmāsuḥ|
20 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
tataḥ sandhyāyāṁ satyāṁ dvādaśabhiḥ śiṣyaiḥ sākaṁ sa nyaviśat|
21 As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
aparaṁ bhuñjāna uktavān yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, yuṣmākameko māṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
22 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It is not me, is it, Lord?”
tadā te'tīva duḥkhitā ekaikaśo vaktumārebhire, he prabho, sa kimahaṁ?
23 He answered, “He who dipped his matzah ·unleavened bread· with me in the dish (of bitter herbs), the same will betray me.
tataḥ sa jagāda, mayā sākaṁ yo jano bhojanapātre karaṁ saṁkṣipati, sa eva māṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
24 The Son of Man will die just as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
manujasutamadhi yādṛśaṁ likhitamāste, tadanurūpā tadgati rbhaviṣyati; kintu yena puṁsā sa parakareṣu samarpayiṣyate, hā hā cet sa nājaniṣyata, tadā tasya kṣemamabhaviṣyat|
25 Judas [Praised], who betrayed him, answered, “It is not me, is it, Rabbi ·Teacher·?” He said to him, “You said it.”
tadā yihūdānāmā yo janastaṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati, sa uktavān, he guro, sa kimahaṁ? tataḥ sa pratyuktavān, tvayā satyaṁ gaditam|
26 As they were eating, Yeshua [Salvation] took matzah ·unleavened bread·, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
anantaraṁ teṣāmaśanakāle yīśuḥ pūpamādāyeśvarīyaguṇānanūdya bhaṁktvā śiṣyebhyaḥ pradāya jagāda, madvapuḥsvarūpamimaṁ gṛhītvā khādata|
27 He took the (third) cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
paścāt sa kaṁsaṁ gṛhlan īśvarīyaguṇānanūdya tebhyaḥ pradāya kathitavān, sarvvai ryuṣmābhiranena pātavyaṁ,
28 for this is my blood of the new covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
yasmādanekeṣāṁ pāpamarṣaṇāya pātitaṁ yanmannūtnaniyamarūpaśoṇitaṁ tadetat|
29 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in 'Avi ·my Father·’s Kingdom.”
aparamahaṁ nūtnagostanīrasaṁ na pāsyāmi, tāvat gostanīphalarasaṁ punaḥ kadāpi na pāsyāmi|
30 When they had sung the Hallel Psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
paścāt te gītamekaṁ saṁgīya jaitunākhyagiriṁ gatavantaḥ|
31 Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
tadānīṁ yīśustānavocat, asyāṁ rajanyāmahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ vighnarūpo bhaviṣyāmi, yato likhitamāste, "meṣāṇāṁ rakṣako yastaṁ prahariṣyāmyahaṁ tataḥ| meṣāṇāṁ nivaho nūnaṁ pravikīrṇo bhaviṣyati"||
32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee [District, Circuit].”
kintu śmaśānāt samutthāya yuṣmākamagre'haṁ gālīlaṁ gamiṣyāmi|
33 But Peter [Rock] answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
pitarastaṁ provāca, bhavāṁścet sarvveṣāṁ vighnarūpo bhavati, tathāpi mama na bhaviṣyati|
34 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
tato yīśunā sa uktaḥ, tubhyamahaṁ tathyaṁ kathayāmi, yāminyāmasyāṁ caraṇāyudhasya ravāt pūrvvaṁ tvaṁ māṁ tri rnāṅgīkariṣyasi|
35 Peter [Rock] said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
tataḥ pitara uditavān, yadyapi tvayā samaṁ marttavyaṁ, tathāpi kadāpi tvāṁ na nāṅgīkariṣyāmi; tathaiva sarvve śiṣyāścocuḥ|
36 Then Yeshua [Salvation] came with them to a place called Gethsemane [Olive oil press], and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
anantaraṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sākaṁ getśimānīnāmakaṁ sthānaṁ prasthāya tebhyaḥ kathitavān, adaḥ sthānaṁ gatvā yāvadahaṁ prārthayiṣye tāvad yūyamatropaviśata|
37 He took with him Peter [Rock] and the two sons of Zebedee [Bestowed by Yah], and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
paścāt sa pitaraṁ sivadiyasutau ca saṅginaḥ kṛtvā gatavān, śokākulo'tīva vyathitaśca babhūva|
38 Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me.”
tānavādīcca mṛtiyātaneva matprāṇānāṁ yātanā jāyate, yūyamatra mayā sārddhaṁ jāgṛta|
39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “'Avi ·my Father·, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
tataḥ sa kiñciddūraṁ gatvādhomukhaḥ patan prārthayāñcakre, he matpitaryadi bhavituṁ śaknoti, tarhi kaṁso'yaṁ matto dūraṁ yātu; kintu madicchāvat na bhavatu, tvadicchāvad bhavatu|
40 He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter [Rock], “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
tataḥ sa śiṣyānupetya tān nidrato nirīkṣya pitarāya kathayāmāsa, yūyaṁ mayā sākaṁ daṇḍamekamapi jāgarituṁ nāśankuta?
41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
parīkṣāyāṁ na patituṁ jāgṛta prārthayadhvañca; ātmā samudyatosti, kintu vapu rdurbbalaṁ|
42 Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “'Avi ·my Father·, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
sa dvitīyavāraṁ prārthayāñcakre, he mattāta, na pīte yadi kaṁsamidaṁ matto dūraṁ yātuṁ na śaknoti, tarhi tvadicchāvad bhavatu|
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
sa punaretya tān nidrato dadarśa, yatasteṣāṁ netrāṇi nidrayā pūrṇānyāsan|
44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
paścāt sa tān vihāya vrajitvā tṛtīyavāraṁ pūrvvavat kathayan prārthitavān|
45 Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
tataḥ śiṣyānupāgatya gaditavān, sāmprataṁ śayānāḥ kiṁ viśrāmyatha? paśyata, samaya upāsthāt, manujasutaḥ pāpināṁ kareṣu samarpyate|
46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
uttiṣṭhata, vayaṁ yāmaḥ, yo māṁ parakareṣu masarpayiṣyati, paśyata, sa samīpamāyāti|
47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas [Praised], one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
etatkathākathanakāle dvādaśaśiṣyāṇāmeko yihūdānāmako mukhyayājakalokaprācīnaiḥ prahitān asidhāriyaṣṭidhāriṇo manujān gṛhītvā tatsamīpamupatasthau|
48 Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I phileo ·affectionately love, kiss·, he is the one. Seize him.”
asau parakareṣvarpayitā pūrvvaṁ tān itthaṁ saṅketayāmāsa, yamahaṁ cumbiṣye, so'sau manujaḥ, saeva yuṣmābhi rdhāryyatāṁ|
49 Immediately he came to Yeshua [Salvation], and said, “Shalom ·Complete peace·, Rabbi ·Teacher·!” and kissed him.
tadā sa sapadi yīśumupāgatya he guro, praṇamāmītyuktvā taṁ cucumbe|
50 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Yeshua [Salvation], and took him.
tadā yīśustamuvāca, he mitraṁ kimarthamāgatosi? tadā tairāgatya yīśurākramya daghre|
51 Behold, one of those who were with Yeshua [Salvation] stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
tato yīśoḥ saṅgināmekaḥ karaṁ prasāryya koṣādasiṁ bahiṣkṛtya mahāyājakasya dāsamekamāhatya tasya karṇaṁ ciccheda|
52 Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
tato yīśustaṁ jagāda, khaḍgaṁ svasthāne nidhehi yato ye ye janā asiṁ dhārayanti, taevāsinā vinaśyanti|
53 Or do you think that I couldn’t ask 'Avi ·my Father·, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
aparaṁ pitā yathā madantikaṁ svargīyadūtānāṁ dvādaśavāhinīto'dhikaṁ prahiṇuyāt mayā tamuddiśyedānīmeva tathā prārthayituṁ na śakyate, tvayā kimitthaṁ jñāyate?
54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
tathā satītthaṁ ghaṭiṣyate dharmmapustakasya yadidaṁ vākyaṁ tat kathaṁ sidhyet?
55 In that hour Yeshua [Salvation] said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
tadānīṁ yīśu rjananivahaṁ jagāda, yūyaṁ khaḍgayaṣṭīn ādāya māṁ kiṁ cauraṁ dharttumāyātāḥ? ahaṁ pratyahaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sākamupaviśya samupādiśaṁ, tadā māṁ nādharata;
56 But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
kintu bhaviṣyadvādināṁ vākyānāṁ saṁsiddhaye sarvvametadabhūt|tadā sarvve śiṣyāstaṁ vihāya palāyanta|
57 Those who had taken Yeshua [Salvation] led him away to Caiaphas [Rock that hollows itself out] the high priest, where the Torah-Teachers and the elders were gathered together.
anantaraṁ te manujā yīśuṁ dhṛtvā yatrādhyāpakaprāñcaḥ pariṣadaṁ kurvvanta upāviśan tatra kiyaphānāmakamahāyājakasyāntikaṁ ninyuḥ|
58 But Peter [Rock] followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
kintu śeṣe kiṁ bhaviṣyatīti vettuṁ pitaro dūre tatpaścād vrajitvā mahāyājakasyāṭṭālikāṁ praviśya dāsaiḥ sahita upāviśat|
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Yeshua [Salvation], that they might put him to death;
tadānīṁ pradhānayājakaprācīnamantriṇaḥ sarvve yīśuṁ hantuṁ mṛṣāsākṣyam alipsanta,
60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,
kintu na lebhire| anekeṣu mṛṣāsākṣiṣvāgateṣvapi tanna prāpuḥ|
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
śeṣe dvau mṛṣāsākṣiṇāvāgatya jagadatuḥ, pumānayamakathayat, ahamīśvaramandiraṁ bhaṁktvā dinatrayamadhye tannirmmātuṁ śaknomi|
62 The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
tadā mahāyājaka utthāya yīśum avādīt| tvaṁ kimapi na prativadasi? tvāmadhi kimete sākṣyaṁ vadanti?
63 But Yeshua [Salvation] held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the Elohim Chayim [Living God], that you tell us whether you are the Messiah [Anointed one], the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
kintu yīśu rmaunībhūya tasyau| tato mahāyājaka uktavān, tvām amareśvaranāmnā śapayāmi, tvamīśvarasya putro'bhiṣikto bhavasi naveti vada|
64 Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
yīśuḥ pratyavadat, tvaṁ satyamuktavān; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, itaḥparaṁ manujasutaṁ sarvvaśaktimato dakṣiṇapārśve sthātuṁ gagaṇasthaṁ jaladharānāruhyāyāntaṁ vīkṣadhve|
65 Then the high priest tore his, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
tadā mahāyājako nijavasanaṁ chittvā jagāda, eṣa īśvaraṁ ninditavān, asmākamaparasākṣyeṇa kiṁ prayojanaṁ? paśyata, yūyamevāsyāsyād īśvaranindāṁ śrutavantaḥ,
66 What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
yuṣmābhiḥ kiṁ vivicyate? te pratyūcuḥ, vadhārho'yaṁ|
67 Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
tato lokaistadāsye niṣṭhīvitaṁ kecit pratalamāhatya kecicca capeṭamāhatya babhāṣire,
68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah [Anointed one]! Who hit you?”
he khrīṣṭa tvāṁ kaścapeṭamāhatavān? iti gaṇayitvā vadāsmān|
69 Now Peter [Rock] was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Yeshua [Salvation], the Galilean!”
pitaro bahiraṅgana upaviśati, tadānīmekā dāsī tamupāgatya babhāṣe, tvaṁ gālīlīyayīśoḥ sahacaraekaḥ|
70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
kintu sa sarvveṣāṁ samakṣam anaṅgīkṛtyāvādīt, tvayā yaducyate, tadarthamahaṁ na vedmi|
71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Yeshua [Salvation] of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
tadā tasmin bahirdvāraṁ gate 'nyā dāsī taṁ nirīkṣya tatratyajanānavadat, ayamapi nāsaratīyayīśunā sārddham āsīt|
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
tataḥ sa śapathena punaranaṅgīkṛtya kathitavān, taṁ naraṁ na paricinomi|
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter [Rock], “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
kṣaṇāt paraṁ tiṣṭhanto janā etya pitaram avadan, tvamavaśyaṁ teṣāmeka iti tvaduccāraṇameva dyotayati|
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
kintu so'bhiśapya kathitavān, taṁ janaṁ nāhaṁ paricinomi, tadā sapadi kukkuṭo rurāva|
75 Peter [Rock] remembered the word which Yeshua [Salvation] had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and wept bitterly.
kukkuṭaravāt prāk tvaṁ māṁ trirapāhnoṣyase, yaiṣā vāg yīśunāvādi tāṁ pitaraḥ saṁsmṛtya bahiritvā khedād bhṛśaṁ cakranda|
